Safety, trust & environment

I am happy to drop by your home and provide care in the space as needed while respecting your personal belongings and boundaries. Due to having two cats myself, I cannot bring additional pets into my own home.

Information Maribel L. would like to know about your pet

If your kitty has any litter box issues or occasionally vomits or anything like that, just let me know and also let me know where any necessary cleaning materials for incidents like this may be.

A typical day

Dropping in on your cat, I will introduce myself (let them sniff me if they want), then get into the visit. Depending on your preferences or the needs of the cat, I can start by giving them food and then clean the litter box. After that, I can spend some time playing with them or otherwise providing them with attention all while taking photos and videos to share with you.

I love spending time with cats

Pet care experience

I have lived with and taken care of cats since I was young. I am excited to care for yours as my own. For cats who enjoy attention and affection, I can happily provide plenty of pets and play time. For shyer cats who prefer their space, I will respect their boundaries. I love taking photos of cats so I can provide you with plenty of updates on how your little ones are doing!

Maribel is a reliable and caring person sitter. Pickles seemed completely at ease and relaxed when I came back from my three days away. The kitchen was clean, dishes done, recycling, and garbage in its place. Maribel was very communicative, easy to reach and responsive.

Maribel was so communicative - her daily report cards gave me piece of mind and she was very patient with my senior and separation-anxiety stressed kitty. It’s so clear she’s an animal lover, and as concerned about us feeling comfortable while we were away. Thank you so much!

Maribel was wonderful! She took excellent care of my cats and always provided thorough notes and lots and lots of pictures! I would highly recommend using her to watch your cats.

This is the second time I’ve booked with Maribel, and once again she did an amazing job! She took great care of both my cats and my apartment, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals. She gave me complete peace of mind while I was away with her detailed updates and photos. She is reliable, thoughtful, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
